Tiribazus

Tiribazus

Tiribazus was the Persian satrap of Sardis during part of the Corinthian War. In 392 BC, he received envoys from the major belligerents of that war, and held a conference in which a proposal for ending the war was discussed. That discussion failed, but Tiribazus, convinced that Athens was becoming a threat to Persia in the Aegean, secretly provided funds to rebuild the Spartan fleet. When the Persian king Artaxerxes learned of this, Tiribazus was removed from power and replaced by Struthas, who pursued an anti-Spartan policy. Five years later, however, in 387, Tiribazus was again in power, and worked together with the Spartan Antalcidas to rebuild the Spartan fleet as a threat to Athenian interests in the region, bringing the Athenians and their allies to the negotiating table. Tiribazus represented Artaxerxes at the negotiations which ensued, out of which came the Peace of Antalcidas.
